📢 Class Update: CYB 250 - Week 1 Recap | Humans & Cybersecurity

👋 Welcome to my latest class update for CYB 250: Cyber Defense at SNHU!

This week, we explored how human error is one of the biggest cybersecurity risks, with 74% of data breaches involving human mistakes (Verizon, 2023). Social engineering, phishing, and insider threats continue to be major vulnerabilities that organizations must address.

🔹 Key Takeaways from Week 1:

✅ The Human Factor in Cybersecurity – How mistakes, negligence, and insider threats create security risks.
✅ Phishing & Social Engineering – How attackers manipulate people into giving up sensitive information.
✅ Security Awareness & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Why training employees and enforcing MFA can significantly reduce cyber risks.
✅ Least Privilege Access – How limiting user access to only what’s necessary enhances security.
